Put half of the cranberry mixture in a container large enough to hold all the chops - this is the marinade. Set aside the second half of the mixture to use later as the glaze.
• Toss the chops with the cranberry marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat oven broiler.
• When the broiler is ready, take the chops out of the fridge. Wipe off the marinade, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, and place them on a rack and broiling pan.
• Position the pan close to the source of heat and broil chops 4 minutes. Brush chops with half of the glaze, broil for another minute. Turn the chops over and broil 2-3 minutes longer. Brush on remaining glaze and broil about a minute longer or until chops are medium-rare or of desired doneness.
